Final Comment
Hi,
My check found 12 authors missing from debian/copyright (see notes) some
of whom may be bogus, but some probably are not and you may want to add
them for your next upload.
There is a lintian warning about the license name in debian/copyright having
a space. I believe this can be fixed by using a name without the '+' in
it which confuses the license name parsing for dep5. I would recommend
changing the license name to the standard "Apache-2.0-w-LLVM-exception" or
possibly "Apache-2.0 with LLVM exception" (which should get parsed to the
standard name).
Thanks!

N:
N: A manual page provoked warnings or errors from the man program. Here are
N: some common ones:
N:
N: "cannot adjust" or "can't break" are issues with paragraph filling. They
N: are usually related to long lines. Justifying text on the left hand side
N: can help with adjustments. Hyphenation can help with breaks.
N:
N: For more information, please see "Manipulating Filling and Adjusting" and
N: "Manipulating Hyphenation" in the Groff manual (see info groff).
N:
N: "can't find numbered character" usually means that the input was in a
N: national legacy encoding. The warning means that some characters were
N: dropped. Please use escapes such as \[:a] as described on the groff_char
N: manual page.
N:
N: Other common warnings are formatting typos. String arguments to .IP
N: require quotes. Usually, some text is lost or mangled. See the groff_man
N: (or groff_mdoc if using mdoc) manual page for details on macros.
N:
N: The check for manual pages uses the --warnings option to man to catch
N: common problems, like a . or a ' at the beginning of a line as literal
N: text. They are interpreted as Groff commands. Just reformat the paragraph
N: so the characters are not at the beginning of a line. You can also add a
N: zero-width space (\&) in front of them.
N:
N: Aside from overrides, warnings can be disabled with the .warn directive.
N: Please see "Debugging" in the Groff manual.
N:
N: You can see the warnings yourself by running the command used by Lintian:
N:
N: LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 \
N: man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z <file> >/dev/null

N: known, missing kmidiff.1
O: abigail-tools: no-manual-page [usr/bin/kmidiff]
N:
N: Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N: a manual page
N:
N: Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N: program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N: own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N: sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N: support this.
N:
N: If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N: able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N: exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:
N: If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N: depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N: available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N: pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N: Lintian override.
